Christmas Present for Emma

Lillekat  oil on masonite   16×20″    NFS

My granddaughter is crazy about cats.  For some girls her age it’s horses but not for Emma.  Unfortunately she has asthma and can’t have a cat in the house.  But when she visits us I take her to see a neighbor’s cat with whom she seems to have developed a special relationship.    I thought a good Christmas gift would be a  painting of  Lillekat and Emma did seem pleased.   Since we’re in Utica and couldn’t photograph in my studio, the glare is worse than usual.  Anyway, I liked the composition of the cat on the windowsill with the pink flowers in the garden behind echoed in the cat’s nose.

Last Outdoor Painting of the Year

Nancy’s Studio  oil on masonite  18 x 24  $500 unframed  SOLD

I did this one months ago but forgot to post it.  I was on a hill above a friend’s wonderful studio.  The shadows were what I particularly liked.  Some of the foliage was turning so I had a little color besides the green.
